The 10 Commandments 2: The Sabbath Day

Bravo! I bet if you gave sermons it would do wonders for Church attendance! But wait a minute–wouldn’t that be “working”?

The sabbath is supposed to be Saturday not Sunday, ask the Jews. All the Jews in my area observe Saturday as the sabbath.

I don’t know why christians observe Sunday as the worship day; maybe just to piss off the Jews.

The Spanish word for Saturday is Sabado; makes sense.

In high school I worked in the only hardware store in the county that was open on Sunday. We did more business on Sunday than any other day of the week. I don’t think people were buying hardware on Sunday just to store it in their basements. Likewise, many years later, I had a job in a liquor store that was open on Sunday. We did more business there on Sunday than all the other days of the week combined. I don’t know what this says about what God the “good Christian” folks in my neighborhood worshiped, but now that I no longer work there, I have to leisure to raise a glass in toast to all those comfortable suburban hypocrites. “I’ll DRINK to that!”

It seems the ten commandants may have started out as a reasonable moral compass (a thousand or so years ago).

There should be no moral dilemma for the modern world on working Sundays or any other guidance from the bible.

If the “good Christian” can even exist, they must exist based a working document of the modern world. The Catholic church in particular may be suffering from living in the past and not offering the blind sheep something they can use.

Maybe part of the modern doctrine is that no man of the church is perfect either.

I think the Ten Commandments were a way of keeping the sheep in check… as a moral code it’s a bit mad – thou shalt not kill… unless it’s people who work on a Sunday or kids who don’t honour their parents….
I’ll stick to good old common sense and follow my own path.

The Ten Commandments still provides a solid basis for any moral cose, and you must remember that for almost two thousand years this was the only rule that saved the peasantry from a seven day working week.

On an unrelated note how does such a small strip of material stay put on such a generously proportioned woman? Do you need to make a conscious effort?

The fact that they have stayed on during your clips prove that prayer does not work.
